Tips For Working Your Horse On Cattle.

Video, audio and written instruction.

The video shows me schooling a young filly on cattle. I work on building her confidence, getting control and using her body correctly.

This skill is extremely important for any type of horse that works cattle… be it a cutting horse, a reined cow horse or a ranch sorting horse.

Note for Ranch Sorters: For ranch sorting, you’ll use the same technique. However, the horse really needs to be confident and thoroughly know his job before you introduce him to speed. If you start competition sorting on a green horse too early, it’ll cause him to be anxious and dread working cattle.

Okay, that wraps it up for part 1.

Tomorrow, I’ll send you an email containing the link to “Part 2”.

In “Part 2”, you’re going to learn the most common MISTAKES riders make when working cattle.

They are to be avoided at all costs.

Why? Because making these mistakes could RUIN YOUR HORSE.

I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to do things right the first time… and every time, you put your horse on a cow.

If there’s any chance you’re making any of these mistakes yourself, you gotta get Part 2 where I share the SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS.

Hi Carole,
Don’t put sliders on them unless it’s absolutely necessary.
The vast majority of the horses entered in the SBF are shod pretty conservatively.
Either a simple keg shoe with a rocked toe or a 3/4 inch slider.

I came across video on YouTube on how to spin and the exercises have worked remarkably on my 3 year old. She was turning quick and correct by the slight rein pressure before two rides were done. I like the teaching style because I learn more by watching him correct his young horses than by watching videos with finished horses that do it “perfect” each time. Can’t wait to purchase full videos!
